0
ascending aorta and pulmonary trunk derived from
Truncus arteriosus
1
Smooth parts of left and right ventricles (outflow) derived drom
bulbis cordis
2
Trabeculated left and right ventricles derived from
primitive ventricle
3
Coronary sinus derived from
left horn of sinus venosus
4
Smooth part of right atrium derived from
Right horn of sinus venosus
5
superior vena cava derived from
Right common cardinal vein and right anterior cardinal vein
6
What structure divides the truncus arteriosus into the aortic and pulmonary trunks? What is the cellular origin of this structure?
Aorticopulmonary (spiral) septum--> derived from neural crest cells
7
What 3 defects can occur due to pathologic aorticopulmonary septum formation?
1. Transposition of great vessels (failure to spiral)
2. Tetralogy of Fallot (skewed septum development; blocs off some of pulmonary artery outflow)
8
Which fetal blood vessel has the highest oxygenation? What is the path through fetal circulation
Umbilical vein (highest oxygen; 80%)--> ductus venous (bypasses portal circulation in liver)--> IVC--> Right atrium to left atrium via Foramen ovale--> Ductus arteriosus to circulation
Umbilical arteries branch off illiacs to go back to placenta
9
What causes the ductus arteriosus to close?
Increased oxygen due to first breaths--> increased O2 in aorta--> decreased prostaglandin (PGE2) synthesis = closure of ductus arteriosus
10
What causes the foramen ovale to close?
First breaths--> increased O2 in pulmonary vasculature--> dilation and decreased resistance--> increased left atrial pressure--> snaps foramen ovale shut
11
What structure first forms between the top of the heart and the dorsal endocardial cushion when the interatrial septum is developing?
Septum primum
12
What two opening derive from the septum primum? Which one doesnt persist for long?
1. Foramen primum (the one formed before septum primum fuses with endocardial cushion fully; goes away once they fuse)
2. Foramen secundum --> this one remains
13
Which atrium does the Septum secundum form from? What structure does it create?
Right atrium--> creates the foramen ovale
*fetal blood bypasses pulmonary circulation by going through foramen ovale and foramen secundum
14
What structure composes the valve that prevents backflow of blood from the left to right atria through the foramen ovale in fetal circulation?
portion of the septum primum that fused with the endocardial cushion
15
What herat development issues are seen with Trisomy 21?
Endocardial cushion defects--> growths from these separate atria from ventricles and contributes to both atrial separation and membranous portion of the interventricular septum
17
What four structures does fetal erythropoiesis occur in?
1. Yolk sac (3-10 weeks)
2. Liver (6wks - birth)
3. Spleen (15-30 weeks)
4. Bone Marrow (22wk-adult)
*Young Liver Synthesizes Blood
18
maxillary artery comes from which aortic arch
1st arch
* "1st arch is maximal"; is branch of external carotid
19
common carotid artery and proximal internal carotid artery come from which aortic arch
3rd arch
20
aortic arch (on left) and proximal subclavian on the right come from which aortic arch
4th arch
21
2nd aortic arch derivatives (2)
1. Stapedial arch
2. hyoid artery
